St George Illawarra are reportedly willing to let go of their best attacking weapon in Matt Dufty.
The lightning quick number one has scored eight tries and assisted five in 10 appearances for the Red V this year.
Speaking on Nine's 100% Footy, NRL journalist Danny Weidler revealed that he's been told the fullback is free to "go look around" for a new club.
"It's my understanding that Matt Dufty has been told by the Dragons that he is free to go. I don't think they want him for next year," Weidler said.
"The information I've got is that he's been told they don't want him and go look around. All the information I've got is that they don't want him at the club.
"I don't know what Matt Dufty has done wrong as a footballer.
"They've had a chance to re-sign him for a while now at the Dragons and they've decided not to."
The Daily Telegraph’s Michael Carayannis believes the club is hesitant to sign Dufty because they’re setting their eyes on Storm utility Nicho Hynes.
“The Dragons have been very reluctant to re-sign Matt Dufty,” Carayannis said on SEN 1170 Breakfast.
“They want to give him some time and have a look at him and assess him under the new coach.
“They’re in for Nicho Hynes, but they’re not the only ones.
“I think Cronulla will look at him, Brisbane are definitely in for him, he’s very much in demand.”
Hynes’ Storm teammate Cooper Johns told SEN 1170 Drive with Joel and Fletch on Monday that he thinks “it would be best” if the breakout star went to a rival club.
